but that kind of thing should be encapsulated into a helper. |

you could get around it by obtaining the view object in the registry and adding your script to it using the relevant method |

but loading in the head would be classier :) |

ive literally just got around it by loading my js and css in my body, i.e. building a string and outputting it |

so you can't insert data into the layout from an element. |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:49 |

unclezoot: the layout is rendered before the element's content is parsed |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:35 |
unclezoot |
i mean you can pass parameters into both |

is an element preferable over a helper for this sort of thing? a snazzy js nav which relies on loading some js + css? |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:33 |
unclezoot |
nope, that didnt fix it |

ACTION pulls his hair out |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:29 |
savant |
yes i have |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:29 |
unclezoot |
have you tried loading those helpers in a layout though? that seems to be the crucial thing |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:29 |
savant |
yes |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:29 |
unclezoot |
ok then, have you got any plugins in your git repo that load js in a helper which i can use for reference? |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:27 |
savant |
si senor |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:27 |
unclezoot |
in a plugin? with the same syntax i used? |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:26 |
savant |
no you are able to. I've done it before and keep doing it |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:26 |
unclezoot |
well if you can, it's more than a one-liner |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:26 |
unclezoot |
maybe you just cant use your own helpers in a layout if they need to load js + css |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:25 |
unclezoot |
dont see how, im following the manual |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:25 |
savant |
then i guess you broke something somehow |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:25 |
unclezoot |
no change |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:24 |
savant |
well try the "long tag" anyways |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:24 |
savant |
wait it is |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:24 |
savant |
<? isn't a shorttag |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:23 |
unclezoot |
because i like short tags, personal preference |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:23 |
savant |
line 36 and 37 |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:23 |
savant |
why don't you do <?php in the layout? |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:23 |
unclezoot |
that's where it all goes tits up for me |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:23 |
unclezoot |
but i wasnt using that helper in a layout |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:22 |
unclezoot |
yes, because i made a helper the other day with the same syntax (i used that to write this) |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:22 |
savant |
no, loading it period |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:22 |
unclezoot |
the right syntax for loading javascript in a helper? |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:22 |
unclezoot |
no request in firebug, no error |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:22 |
savant |
you sure that is the correct syntax? (idk I'm using 1.3-dev) |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:21 |
unclezoot |
no change when i echo it |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:20 |
savant |
return it or echo it or something |
| # |
Sep 13th 2009, 18:20 |
unclezoot |
yup that's what i meant |
